Wyclef Jean Was Shot In The Hand In Haiti This Weekend

On Saturday night, just ahead of the Presidential elections in
Haity, singer Wyclef Jean was shot in the hand
while attending a political rally for musician and Haitian
presidential candidate, Michel Martelly.

A spokesperson for the rapper and humanitarian said that “He was
shot in the hand last night. He was released from the
hospital. He’s fine now. It happened late yesterday night and he
was released after a couple hours.”

She said the gun shot “just grazed his hand” and that he plans to
be out in public again today. She didn’t provide any additional
details on the circumstances of the shooting. Another
representative for the singer said that Jean would likely provide
more information today.

Jean, himself a native of Haiti, launched a presidential campaign
last year but was disqualified.
